Mr.. Drury fell somewhat after
the manner Of Lucifer. He tried
to bite off more than he could
haudliy chew and was over proud.
Then again he got bu ll-headed,
which lands the new politician.
Hardly a man among US, but can
look back over his life and count
up where his bull-headedness
caused him to lose his feet. Only
very big men can afford to be bull
headed, and then not as a general
thing.
Again Mr.. Drury made the mis-
take of imagining that he reached
a small office on his own individual
efforts and that nobody but himself
had any hand in it. Then when he
tried to dance political minuet on
those who had helped him, they
naturally turned around and
banged him good and hard, and
some of them are not through yet.

past favors and trying to be over

Artesian Water at Norman.

Boring for artesian water was

since, and the work has been
crowned with success. At depth
of between $40 and 90 feet water

be continued with the expectation
of getting a much higher flow. Mr.

GovERNoR MooSIGHr, of Wyoming
Territory, in his annual report, states
that the territory is adapted TO farming
rs well as for stock raising, and the ad-
vantsges of combining the two are we'll
recognized. The Governor estimates
that the population now numbers $1,000.
Owing to the fact that the railroad lands
are assessed this year for the first time
the taxable values of the present year ex-
ceed those of last year by over $1,000
600. For the ten months beginning in
September of last year and ending June
80, 1887, there was sos, 1S5 acres of pub
lie land taken up. The result of the op-
erations of the great syndicates has been.
continues the report, to retard the pro
gress of the territory and prevent immi-
grafton. In speaking of the cattle bust
ness, the Governor notes its decsdence as
compared with former years. The re-
port states that next year the Wyoming
Central, the Burlington d Missouri, and
Dugenne 4 Northern Railroads will be IN
course of completion. The Governor
states that bituminous coal deposits are
found almost everywhere in the territory.
For the six months ending July L, there
were over Ave hundred thousand tons of
coal mined. There are also extensive de-
posits of soda found, which is converted
into the marketable article in the terrific.
ry. The oil fields are perhaps the rich
est in the world, says the Governor. and
large developments have been made dur

recommends the creation of three new
land offices, to be known as the Buffalo
Sundance, and Lander Districts.

pressed mnch surprise at the very low

THE LINE OF MARCH.

The grand procession passed up Wilson
street. The decorations were grand; the
cheers of the dense throng actually
drowned the sounds of the various bands.
The crowd endeavored to follow close
upon the presidential carriage. The pres
ident removed his hat, and ever aud anon
bowed his head. Mrs. Cleveland smiled,
and appeared to fully appreciate the
ovation. An enthusiastic and well knovE
farmer would not be put off, but he
crowded his way to the carriage and shook
the hand of the president; then with an
air of perfect peace he said: Now
I'm satisfied" The decorations at
tracted the attention of the presi-
dent and his wife, and more than
once she called the attention to Post
master General Villas to some beautiful
design. The triumphal arch across King
street attracted the attention of Mrs.
Cleveland soon after passing the junction
of Webster and King, and she passed
some remarks in relation to the goddess
of liberty and her representatives The
president was heard to say: every grand,
indeed" It was at this point, when Mrs.
Cleveland was smiling that lady who had
worked her way to the front, remark very
plainly: 80, isn't she prstty!" When
the presidential party had passed under
the arch, and had met the truly dazzling
score which the park, the capitol, and
Main and Pinckney streets presented they
seemed to show surprise. An
ocean of humanity, waving of
hanakerchefs and floating buat-
ing made up the scene. Every window
presented waving handkerchiefs and the
bright faces of ladies. Mrs. Cleveland
endeavored to assist her husband in
acknowledging these courtesies. Passing
under the arch at the north corner of the
park, the procession proceeded down
North Hamilton, to Butler and up Butler
to Gilman, the following crowd but little
lestened. Reaching Gilman, Mondota

large and small, most of them with float

the handsome buildings, lawns and deco

WOMEN AND EXERCISE.
A Writer Who Varies the Usual Cry and
They Need Rest.

Writer Who Varies the Usual Cry ana Says
They Need Rest
There is a deal of nonsense about the
wonderful good health and tine physiques
of our grandmothers, writes janet Dale
in the Chicago News. American women
are told continually that their want of
health is becoming proverbial. Aver
agely this mythical increasing fragiiity
is attributed to insufficient exarcise. Yet
out-of-door amusements are the "fad" of
the time. The young woman who does
not indulge III lawn games, row, ride, take
long walks, and occupy her leisure in one
way or another with more or less violent
exercise is quite behind the swim.
Yet ths came old cry swells up from
time TO time about the inactivity of
American women. The physical culture
of the ancients and the robustness of
their grand-dames is held up before their
accredited weakly vision. Women who
work in the fields are shown to them
tguratively, as specimens of pei feet
physical development.
Statistics donot support the assertions
that the women of to-day are less healthy
than those of fifty or seventy five years
ago. Instead, the old fact in figures stares
buc duZN luSOEl III tue lace WIN the as
surance that longevity in women has in
creased a large wercsntage during that
period. Neither does the comparison of
the women who pass their lives in field
work and those employed in industries
more suited to their sex support the story
of their superior physical condition.
They are found in life with bent frames,
furrowed brows, misshaped hands and
feet, often with disorders peculiar to their
sex, incurred from exposure and over
work.
1t is true that most women do not know
enough about the laws that govern health
ana the disease incident to their sex. But
they are wise in this particular in COM
parison with their grandmothecs.
The American woman of to-day is far
healthier than the women who preceded
her. She is no less active because she
may not spin and weave, make butter
and cheese. In reality she is the hardest
working woman in the world.
More exercise is not what the majority
of American women need. 1t is more re,
laxstion-more rest. The indoor labor
| performed By the average American
| house wife is astonishing. The English
and German women do not attempt to dc
| half the work of an ordinary American
| wife and mother. American women OF
middle age who break down in health ar,
| more apt to do so from toe much exer
/ else than from inactivity.
